Meng Chen the Generous Gets the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, While the Little Wretch Loses His Mother

With the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in hand, Meng Chen no longer had to worry about the Soul Tool concealing Xiao Wu's aura failing one day and exposing her. He believed in being prepared for both possibilities.

Afterward, Meng Chen went to the Academic Affairs Office to request leave, saying he was going to obtain his fourth Soul Ring. The teachers there were stunned and hurriedly summoned the director.

"Student Meng, you've broken through to level forty?" Director Chen looked at Meng Chen in astonishment.

Meng Chen displayed his Soul Power Level.

Director Chen called him a monster and immediately processed his leave. He could return whenever he finished obtaining his Soul Ring.

Knowing that Xiao Wu could not bear to watch Soul Beasts be hunted down by Soul Masters, Meng Chen did not bring her along.

"Xiao Wu, this is the token the Heaven Dou Crown Prince gave me before. If you run into trouble at the academy, go find him. I'll be back soon."

Xiao Wu accepted the token and nodded reluctantly. She also took out a palm-sized azure scale and handed it to Meng Chen.

"Mm, you should be careful too. If you encounter a Soul Beast you can't defeat, take this out. It can intimidate those Soul Beasts."

Looking at the azure scale, Meng Chen guessed it was a scale from the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Without asking further, he accepted the scale, told Xiao Wu to return to class, and turned to leave.

Xiao Wu watched Meng Chen's receding figure, the reluctance in her beautiful eyes growing stronger. She pressed her lips together and bit them lightly. Only after Meng Chen had completely disappeared from sight did she return to the academy.

After leaving Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Meng Chen did not head for the Star Dou Great Forest. He did not even ride Big Black, instead having Ye Xishui take him back to Notting City.

As for why he had returned to Notting City?

Of course, it was for the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone!

If he did not take it, was he supposed to leave it for that little wretch?

Although those fanfictions had misled him before, making him think the Blue Silver Emperor and her Soul Bone were hidden at the waterfall behind Saint Soul Village—

Over the past few years, Meng Chen had worked hard to recall the original plot and finally remembered.

In the original story, Tang Hao had said that the waterfall concealing the Blue Silver Emperor and the Soul Bone was actually not far from Saint Soul Village.

Those fanfiction authors had merely taken liberties for convenience and moved the waterfall directly to the back mountain of Saint Soul Village.

After some traveling, Meng Chen returned to Notting City. He had Ye Xishui search every inch within a hundred li of Saint Soul Village. He refused to believe they could not find that waterfall.

He himself returned to Xiahe Village. After having a meal at the old village chief's house, he took out the Dragon Ganoderma Leaves he had prepared in advance.

"Grandpa Village Chief, these are Dragon Ganoderma Leaves. They're good stuff. Brewed as tea, they strengthen the foundation, nourish vitality, and prolong life. Use one leaf at a time, and one leaf can be brewed for three days."

"Chen lad, this is far too precious. What use does an old man with one foot in the grave have for something like this?"

The old village chief refused to accept them no matter what, trying to return the packet of Dragon Ganoderma Leaves to Meng Chen.

"Chen lad, what use does an old man with one foot in the grave have for such a rare treasure? Take it back quickly."

How could Meng Chen let him have his way? He took off in a flash.

"That child... sigh..."

Seeing Meng Chen run off again, the old village chief clutched the packet of Dragon Ganoderma Leaves and sighed. There was both relief and gratitude in his heart.

Meng Chen then went to Uncle Dalin's house. Uncle Dalin's family was eating when they saw Meng Chen return, and they were greatly surprised.

Uncle Dalin said, "Chen lad, you're back! Have you eaten yet? Dear, go kill another chicken!"

Aunt Dalin immediately moved to kill a chicken, but Meng Chen hurriedly stopped her.

"Auntie, spare the chicken. I just ate at the village chief's house. I came because I have something I want to give Erzhu."

Erzhu was Uncle Dalin's youngest son. He was only six and had yet to undergo his martial soul awakening.

"Erzhu, stop eating. Brother Meng Chen brought you a gift!"

Uncle Dalin kicked Erzhu, who was still hunched over his food. Erzhu raised his head, a ring of rice still around his mouth, and gave Meng Chen a foolish grin.

"Brother Meng Chen."

Meng Chen walked over to Erzhu, smiling as he rubbed the boy's smooth little head. Then he took a pale purple herb from the Bone Dragon Ring.

The herb had a canopy-shaped top, but it was actually a ganoderma. The entire ganoderma was purple, with a jade-like stalk beneath it and nine leaves growing from it.

Meng Chen plucked the Ninth-grade Purple Ganoderma and handed it to Uncle Dalin, instructing him, "Uncle Dalin, this is Ninth-grade Purple Ganoderma. It strengthens the foundation, nourishes vitality, and increases Soul Power."

"The Purple Ganoderma has mild medicinal properties. Before Erzhu's martial soul awakens, feed him a little at a time to improve his body. When his martial soul awakens in the future, he'll definitely have Soul Power. Then he can become a Soul Master too."

Originally, this Ninth-grade Purple Ganoderma had been meant for Tang San to give Yu Xiaogang.

Heh... Meng Chen would rather feed it to a pig than give it to Yu Xiaogang.

Erzhu pointed at himself. "Brother Meng Chen, so I'm a pig?"

"Th-this, Chen lad, it's too precious. We can't accept it!"

Uncle Dalin was shocked and hurriedly refused, but Meng Chen forcibly stuffed the Ninth-grade Purple Ganoderma into his hands.

"Uncle Dalin, this is from the heart!"

Looking at the Purple Ganoderma in his hand, then at Meng Chen's earnest expression, Uncle Dalin accepted it with reddened eyes.

"Chen lad, don't worry. Even if I die, I won't breathe a word about what happened today!"

Even without Meng Chen saying more, Uncle Dalin knew that something capable of helping a person become a Soul Master could not be spoken of carelessly.

"Mm, then I'm leaving. Erzhu, work hard, okay? Become a Soul Master like me. Brother Meng Chen will wait for you in Heaven Dou City."

Before leaving, Meng Chen rubbed Erzhu's little head once more and departed with a smile.

Uncle Dalin gripped the Ninth-grade Purple Ganoderma, his eyes moist.

He had never expected that merely caring for Meng Chen for a few years would bring such an enormous reward. What a generous child who knew how to repay kindness!

As the sun set, dusk deepened and the sky gradually darkened.

Inside the Deno Hotel, a blood-red figure appeared in Meng Chen's room. It was Ye Xishui.

After searching for most of the day, Ye Xishui had finally found the waterfall concealing the Blue Silver Emperor and the Soul Bone amid a range of mountains more than seventy li from Saint Soul Village.

"Little fellow, the Soul Bone and Blue Silver Emperor you wanted." Ye Xishui handed Meng Chen a black lead box and a potted plant.

Meng Chen looked at the potted plant. A wilted blue-gold Blue Silver Grass was planted inside. It was the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Thank you for the trouble, Aunt Ye."

The reason he had brought the Blue Silver Emperor along was because he wanted to conduct an experiment.

But before that, he needed to absorb the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone first.

Meng Chen opened the lead box, and a vast surge of Soul Power burst forth, making even the air freeze and his breathing slow.

Ye Xishui flicked her fingertip, pressing the Soul Power released by the Soul Bone back down.

When the lead box was completely opened, the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, which had arrived six years late, appeared before Meng Chen's eyes.

The Soul Bone was a crystalline blue-gold, as though countless specks of starlight were flickering within it. It circulated an incredibly dense life energy, giving him a gentle, intimate feeling.

Following the method Tang San had used to fuse the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone in the original story, Meng Chen lightly pressed the Soul Bone against his right leg.

Bzz—

A soft hum sounded, and Meng Chen felt his right leg tremble slightly.

Immediately afterward, a cool aura flowed in from all directions. The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone also transformed into countless streams of blue-gold energy that wrapped around his right leg, gradually fusing with it.

There was not the slightest pain during the fusion process. It was easy and comfortable, as if his right leg had been immersed in a cool lake.

Meng Chen immersed himself in the energy fluctuations of the Soul Bone fusion. The Soul Power within his body also flowed gently under the special pull emitted by the Soul Bone.

With every pulse, the air around him became softer, while his Soul Power grew increasingly intense and was noticeably enhanced.

As the cool sensation brought by the Soul Bone spread from his right leg throughout Meng Chen's body, intense crackling sounds erupted from his bones.

Yet Meng Chen did not feel any pain. His body was being strengthened by the Soul Bone's energy, and even the meridians within him were expanding.

Gradually, Meng Chen closed his eyes and enjoyed the strengthening transformation brought by the Soul Bone's energy...
